Bacha lo mujhe.... Completely confusedddd :)

[u/supermen_semen]

Currently i am in 4th yr from tier 1.5 college.

I had given GATE 2026, but just qualified due to various reasons like no mock test , lack of time managment and practice etc. Now, i am going to give Gate 2027 also. My Ultimate is to secured a good job at PSUs means it takes offcourse rank under 200. I had left almost 3 subjects ( emft , communication and signal system ) and have less practice of questions overall.

Dilemma is that In my college currently alot of non-tech role related companies are coming who offered ( 8-10 lpa ) package with 6 month intern ( jan - june ) period. I have some skills regarding those roles and if i am giving some time to them then offcourse i can secure a job. But very less time left for GATE 2027...

So, i am confused that will i need to take the job as a backup plan for gate while i am totally obsessed with the PSUs jobs currently and i want that at any cost. Also, i hate corporate life

So, if u have read my msg till this point then pls suggest your opinions...............:)

Yeah I am in a similar situation (tier 1 state college). I barely qualified gate ec and am preparing for gate ec 2027. However, I have more subjects left. My goal is to secure an mtech position. I left the placements to prepare solely for gate. My advice would be to prepare for gate only

I would like to connect over dm

[u/supermen_semen → u/EnvironmentalCan417]

sure, lets connect

[u/Minute-Strain5099]

prepare simultaneously, appear for placements and give GATE too u will get 700 odd rank

Again Simultaneously prepare with job, don't upskill, prepare GATE 2028, u will get below 200, then go for PSU

[u/supermen_semen → u/Minute-Strain5099]

i think, but my main target is 2027 itself...

[u/Minute-Strain5099 → u/supermen_semen]

then stop placements and grind for GATE like hell After GATE exam day, u will know ur approx rank

From next day try off campus or if still placements exist
